Pope Leo Letter on Humanity

The Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, has published the first encyclical, (major teaching letter), of his papacy. It is aimed at safeguarding humanity at a time of artificial intelligence. At its heart, is an appeal to all people of good will to work together to ensure that AI will be developed and used in ways that promote ‘human flourishing’ and help us to build a better and more just world. The letter on the Vatican website is available at the following link:
